Now that fall’s here, lets get sewing! Ready for a quilt along?
The Scrappy Mountain Range foundations are really popular, but some people have a hard time using them, so I thought we could make a quilt together. In this Quilt Along I’ll let you know which foundation paper pieced Scrappy Mountain Range blocks to put where and how to cut and piece the background. The quilt is made of mountain ranges that vary in height from 5” all the way down to 1”. Here are some mockups of the quilt in different color ways.
(Note: the mockups are simplified and don’t show the snow caps on the mountains.)
